Fore 'n' Aft.

[SHAKEY]

Well after 4 months and a hell of a lot of money I finally got this old "Bud" in some kind of shape. I bought it, supposedly in playable condition, well I suppose that is true if you didn't want to use pedals. I had to take it to an engineering shop to get the changer apart as the axle was seezed solid and some of the changers too. It was a complete strip job and loads of wood filler to fill in all the holes, you may have seen them under my thread 'Most religious Steel.' I had to buy new racks from Jim Moorehead for which I was really grateful as without them I might as well have binned the whole thing.
Now it works fine 'Rack 'n' no Rattle. Here's a couple of pics 'Fore 'n' Aft' and how it sounds. I haven't played for that long I'm a bit rusty.

It so good to see so many old Sho Buds being refurbed and brought back to life. Just love the sound of an old Bud. Magic.
